A Bruce Lee 30 for 30 documentary dropping right as our podcast starts picking up steam is, to quote the wise Rob Pelinka: "Manna from Heaven"
Trung and Eric come on for our first Triple Threat 3-man episode and we switch up the format into a punchy question and answer roundtable and answer 5 big questions: 1: What was Bruce Lee's impact on you growing up? (3:45) 2: What similarities did you see between Bruce's Be Water and Michael Jordan's Last Dance? (16:20) 3: What hot takes have we heard about Bruce's death? (23:39) 4: How legitimate were Bruce Lee's fighting skills? (31:00) 5: And finally, what was his biggest impact for Asian Americans and what would he think of how we're viewed on screen and in society today? (37:36)
